# Five-star hotels in Miami

> Three five-star Miami addresses for South Beach calm, Surfside discretion and a more theatrical oceanfront stay.

## The short answer

Three five-star Miami addresses for South Beach calm, Surfside discretion and a more theatrical oceanfront stay.

## What the register checks

- The Setai, Miami Beach: South Beach. A quiet, low-lit South Beach address for travellers who want the beach without adopting the neighbourhood's loudest rhythm.
- Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club: Surfside. The discreet Surfside choice, removed from South Beach traffic and built around a historic private-club address.
- Faena Hotel Miami Beach: Mid-Beach. The expressive Mid-Beach option, for art, performance and a resort that deliberately makes itself part of the trip.

## Questions

### How are five-star hotels in Miami selected?

Each hotel needs a checkable five-star classification, a location that changes how the city works and a clear reason to choose it over another address.

### How many Miami hotels are in this register?

3. This is a deliberately short first edition, not a directory of every five-star hotel in the city.

### Does Linen Harbour rank the hotels in Miami?

No. The numbers organise the page. They do not claim that one hotel is universally better than another. The useful distinction is fit, location and character.

### Can I book a Miami hotel through Linen Harbour?

Not yet. Linen Harbour links to each hotel for current room information and does not handle the reservation, payment or cancellation.

### Why are there no prices on the Miami hotel pages?

A hotel rate without dates, room type and cancellation terms is not useful. Prices will appear only when a contracted provider can supply current terms.

### Are the hotel photographs from the properties?

Not in this first edition. The register uses credited destination photography until property images with clear reuse rights are available.
